Why This Race MattersThis race is especially meaningful to the organizers of the event as they were born as triplets and spent time in the Evanston ISCU, where they received specialized care as newborns.
Because of that experience, supporting organizations like the Little Giraffe Foundation, which funds critical research and care for premature babies, is something that is deeply personal.
About the Little Giraffe FoundationThe Little Giraffe Foundation is dedicated to improving the survival and long-term outcomes of premature babies through life-saving neonatal research.
Their work helps advance treatments for preemies, improve NICU care, and gives the smallest babies a stronger start in life!  Every mile run and every dollar raised helps make a difference.
